Virnetx Loses Court Battle To Cisco Over VPN Patent

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the better-luck-next-time dept.

schneidafunk writes "VirnetX, a patent-licensing firm with 14 employees, has seen its stock price fall after it lost a major patent trial in Texas on Thursday. A jury there ruled that Cisco did not infringe VirnetX's patents on virtual private networks (VPNs), and that the networking giant didn't have to pay $258 million in damages."

    All this silly bickering over the fruits of exploitation of labor is criminallhy holding us back! We need a dictatorship of the working class, to clear the way for the communist future, where patents will be put in museums alongside other artifacts of the present barbarous dark ages like the pope, the bible, and the atom bomb.

    The looser should be forced to pay the winner's entire court costs.

    I don't think you said what you thought you said. You said "the one that is less tight should be forced to pay the winner's entire court costs" which makes absolutely no sense at all. Educationally handicapped?
